Do you have any remedies for restless legs? It is preventing me from getting a good night’s sleep and I really need some help in dealing with the problem.

The problem with treating restless legs is that it can be caused by many different things.

A few common causes of restless legs include:
• Poor circulation
• Varicose veins
• A sedentary lifestyle
• Iron deficiency
• Magnesium deficiency.

So, it is worth considering if any of these could be at the root of the problem as that way you can address the individual issue. You can find out more about why these problems cause restless legs in my blog '7 reasons for restless legs at night'.

To begin sorting out restless legs, I would recommend topping up your magnesium and iron intake. So, opt for fresh food including spinach, eggs, nuts and seeds, fish and broccoli. It is also important to keep moving throughout the day so go for a stroll at lunch time if you can, or do some stretches in between everyday activities.

When it comes to remedies, Ginko biloba may be one to try as this can improve blood flow throughout the body. You could also consider trying Venagel as this topical gel also gets blood moving throughout the body by tightening veins. I'd recommend applying a little before bed time to see if this helps your symptoms.
